预言圣殿被毁(A)

13 耶稣从殿里出来的时候,有一个门徒对他说:“老师,请看,这是多么美好的石头!多么美好的建筑!” 耶稣对他说:“你看见这些伟大的建筑吗?将来必没有一块石头留在另一块石头上面,每一块都要拆下来。”

这世代终结的预兆(B)

耶稣在橄榄山上,面对圣殿坐着,彼得、雅各、约翰和安得烈私下问他: “请告诉我们,甚么时候会有这些事呢?这一切事将要成就的时候有甚么预兆呢?” 耶稣就告诉他们说:“你们要小心,不要被人迷惑。 有许多人要来,假冒我的名说‘我就是基督’,并且要迷惑许多的人。 你们听见战争和战争的风声,也不要惊慌,这是免不了的,不过,结局还没有到。 一个民族要起来攻打另一个民族,一个国家要起来攻打另一个国家,到处要有地震,有饥荒,这些不过是痛苦的开始。 但你们要小心!因为人要把你们交给公议会,你们要在会堂里被鞭打,又要为我的缘故站在总督和君王面前,向他们作见证。 10 然而福音必须先传给万民。 11 人把你们捉去送官的时候,用不着预先思虑要说甚么,到那时候赐给你们甚么话,你们就说甚么,因为说话的不是你们,而是圣灵。 12 弟兄要出卖弟兄,父亲要出卖儿子,甚至把他们置于死地;儿女要悖逆父母,害死他们。 13 你们为我的名,要被众人恨恶,然而坚忍到底的必然得救。

大灾难的日子(C)

14 “当你们看见‘那造成荒凉的可憎者’,站在不该站的地方(读者必须领悟),那时,住在犹太的应当逃到山上; 15 在房顶的不要下来,也不要进到屋子里拿甚么东西; 16 在田里的也不要回去取衣服。 17 当那些日子,怀孕的和乳养孩子的有祸了! 18 你们应当祈求,不要让这些事在冬天发生。 19 因为那些日子必有灾难,这是从 神创世的开始到现在未曾有过的,以后也必不会再有。 20 如果不是主减少那些日子,没有一个人可以存活;但是为了自己的选民,他必使那些日子减少。 21 那时,如果有人对你们说:‘看哪,基督在这里!看哪,他在那里!’你们不要信。 22 因为必有假基督和假先知出现,行神迹和奇事,如果可以的话,连选民也要迷惑了。 23 所以你们应当小心!我已经事先把一切都告诉你们了。

人子必驾云降临(D)

24 “当那些日子,在那灾难以后,

太阳就变黑了,

月亮也不发光,

25 众星从天坠落,

天上的万象震动。

26 那时,他们要看见人子,满有能力和荣耀,驾着云降临; 27 他要差派天使,把他的选民从四方,从地极直到天边,都招聚来。

28 “你们应该从无花果树学个功课:树枝发出嫩芽长出叶子的时候,你们就知道夏天近了。 29 同样,你们甚么时候看见这些事发生,就知道他已经近在门口了。 30 我实在告诉你们,这一切都必会发生,然后这世代才会过去。 31 天地都要过去,但我的话决不会废去。

警醒准备(E)

32 “至于那日子和时间,没有人知道,连天上的天使和子也不知道,只有父知道。 33 你们要小心,要警醒,因为你们不知道那日期甚么时候来到。 34 这就像一个人出外远行,把责任(“责任”原文作“权柄”)一一地交给他的仆人,又吩咐看门的要警醒。 35 所以你们要警醒,因为你们不知道家主甚么时候来到,也许在黄昏,也许在半夜,也许在鸡叫时,也许在清晨。 36 恐怕他忽然来到,发现你们正在睡觉。 37 我对你们所说的话,也是对众人说的,‘你们要警醒’。”

13 When Jesus was leaving the temple, one of his disciples said, `Look Master, see those big stones and the wonderful houses!'

Jesus said, `You see these big houses? I tell you, not one stone here will be left on top of another. They will all be thrown down! `

Afterwards, he was sitting on the hill called the Mount of Olives, near the temple. Peter, James, John, and Andrew came to him alone.

They said, `Tell us, when will this happen? What will be the sign when these things are going to be done?'

Then Jesus began to talk to them. He said, `Take care. Do not let anyone fool you.

Many men will come in my name. They will say, "I am Christ." They will fool many people.

You will hear about wars. You will hear that war is coming. But do not fear. These things must happen, but that is not yet the end.

One tribe will fight against another tribe. And one country will fight against another country. The earth will shake in many different places. People will have no food to eat. These troubles are only the beginning of the troubles that will come.

`But you must take care. Men will take you to court. They will beat you in their meeting houses. They will take you to rulers and kings because you are true to me. You will talk to them about me.

10 The good news must first be told to all people.

11 When men take you to court, do not be troubled about what you will say. Say whatever comes to your mind at that time. It is not you who speak, but it is the Holy Spirit.

12 A brother will take his brother to be killed. A father will take his child. The children will talk against their father and mother and have them killed.

13 All people will hate you because you are true to me. But the person who keeps on being true to me until the end will be saved.

14 `Daniel the Man of God said that people would put something very bad in the temple.' (Let the one who reads this understand it.) `When that happens, the people in Judea must go quickly to the hills.

15 A person who is on the top of a house must not go down into the house to get things.

16 Those who are working in the fields must not go back to get their coats.

17 In those days it will be very hard for women who are to have a child. It will be very hard for mothers who have babies.

18 Ask God that you may not have the trouble in the cold time of the year.

19 The trouble then will be bigger than any trouble since God made the world. And there never will be any trouble as big as that.

20 No person would be saved if the Lord did not make the time of trouble shorter. He will make it shorter for the sake of his chosen people.

21 `If anyone says to you then, "Look, here is the Christ!" or, "There he is!" do not believe it.

22 People will come and say they are the Christ. People will come and say they are prophets of God. But they are not true to themselves. They will show big signs and do wonderful things that will fool people. They will fool God's chosen people if they can.

23 Watch! I have told you all these things before they happen.

24 `In that time of trouble, the sun will be dark. The moon will not shine.

25 The stars will fall from the sky. And the powers in the sky will be shaken.

26 Then people will see the sign of the Son of Man in the clouds. He will have much power and be very great.

27 He will send out the angels to gather his chosen people. They will gather them from everywhere all over the earth.

28 `Learn a lesson from the fig tree. As soon as its branches begin to grow and the leaves come, then you know it will soon be the warm time of the year.

29 `It is the same when you see all these things. You will know that the time is very near, right at the door.

30 I tell you the truth. The people who are living then will not die before all these things happen.

31 The sky and the earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.

32 `But no one knows the day or the hour when the Son of Man will come. Even the angels in heaven and the Son do not know. Only the Father knows.

33 So watch! Stay awake and talk with God. You do not know when the time will be.

34 It is like a man who went to a country far away. He left his home and told each one of his servants what work he must do. Then he told the man who guards the door to watch.

35 So watch! You do not know when the master of the house will come. You do not know if he will come in the evening, or at midnight, or when the cock calls, or in the morning.

36 Watch, so that you will not be sleeping if he comes quickly.

37 What I say to you I say to everybody, and this is "Watch".'

The Destruction of the Temple and Signs of the End Times(A)

13 As Jesus was leaving the temple, one of his disciples said to him, “Look, Teacher! What massive stones! What magnificent buildings!”

“Do you see all these great buildings?” replied Jesus. “Not one stone here will be left on another; every one will be thrown down.”(B)

As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives(C) opposite the temple, Peter, James, John(D) and Andrew asked him privately, “Tell us, when will these things happen? And what will be the sign that they are all about to be fulfilled?”

Jesus said to them: “Watch out that no one deceives you.(E) Many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am he,’ and will deceive many. When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places, and famines. These are the beginning of birth pains.

“You must be on your guard. You will be handed over to the local councils and flogged in the synagogues.(F) On account of me you will stand before governors and kings as witnesses to them. 10 And the gospel must first be preached to all nations. 11 Whenever you are arrested and brought to trial, do not worry beforehand about what to say. Just say whatever is given you at the time, for it is not you speaking, but the Holy Spirit.(G)

12 “Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child. Children will rebel against their parents and have them put to death.(H) 13 Everyone will hate you because of me,(I) but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved.(J)

14 “When you see ‘the abomination that causes desolation’[a](K) standing where it[b] does not belong—let the reader understand—then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 15 Let no one on the housetop go down or enter the house to take anything out. 16 Let no one in the field go back to get their cloak. 17 How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers!(L) 18 Pray that this will not take place in winter, 19 because those will be days of distress unequaled from the beginning, when God created the world,(M) until now—and never to be equaled again.(N)

20 “If the Lord had not cut short those days, no one would survive. But for the sake of the elect, whom he has chosen, he has shortened them. 21 At that time if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Messiah!’ or, ‘Look, there he is!’ do not believe it.(O) 22 For false messiahs and false prophets(P) will appear and perform signs and wonders(Q) to deceive, if possible, even the elect. 23 So be on your guard;(R) I have told you everything ahead of time.

24 “But in those days, following that distress,

“‘the sun will be darkened,
    and the moon will not give its light;
25 the stars will fall from the sky,
    and the heavenly bodies will be shaken.’[c](S)

26 “At that time people will see the Son of Man coming in clouds(T) with great power and glory. 27 And he will send his angels and gather his elect from the four winds, from the ends of the earth to the ends of the heavens.(U)

28 “Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near. 29 Even so, when you see these things happening, you know that it[d] is near, right at the door. 30 Truly I tell you, this generation(V) will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened.(W) 31 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.(X)

The Day and Hour Unknown

32 “But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.(Y) 33 Be on guard! Be alert[e]!(Z) You do not know when that time will come. 34 It’s like a man going away: He leaves his house and puts his servants(AA) in charge, each with their assigned task, and tells the one at the door to keep watch.

35 “Therefore keep watch because you do not know when the owner of the house will come back—whether in the evening, or at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or at dawn. 36 If he comes suddenly, do not let him find you sleeping. 37 What I say to you, I say to everyone: ‘Watch!’”(AB)

Jesus Predicts the Destruction of the Temple(A)

13 Then (B)as He went out of the temple, one of His disciples said to Him, “Teacher, see what manner of stones and what buildings are here!

And Jesus answered and said to him, “Do you see these great buildings? (C)Not one stone shall be left upon another, that shall not be thrown down.”

The Signs of the Times and the End of the Age(D)

Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, (E)Peter, (F)James, (G)John, and (H)Andrew asked Him privately, (I)“Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign when all these things will be fulfilled?”

And Jesus, answering them, began to say: (J)“Take heed that no one deceives you. For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am He,’ and will deceive many. But when you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be troubled; for such things must happen, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and (K)kingdom against kingdom. And there will be earthquakes in various places, and there will be famines [a]and troubles. (L)These are the beginnings of [b]sorrows.

“But (M)watch out for yourselves, for they will deliver you up to councils, and you will be beaten in the synagogues. You will [c]be brought before rulers and kings for My sake, for a testimony to them. 10 And (N)the gospel must first be preached to all the nations. 11 (O)But when they arrest you and deliver you up, do not worry beforehand, [d]or premeditate what you will speak. But whatever is given you in that hour, speak that; for it is not you who speak, (P)but the Holy Spirit. 12 Now (Q)brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child; and children will rise up against parents and cause them to be put to death. 13 (R)And you will be hated by all for My name’s sake. But (S)he who [e]endures to the end shall be saved.

The Great Tribulation(T)

14 (U)“So when you see the (V)‘abomination of desolation,’ [f]spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not” (let the reader understand), “then (W)let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 15 Let him who is on the housetop not go down into the house, nor enter to take anything out of his house. 16 And let him who is in the field not go back to get his clothes. 17 (X)But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days! 18 And pray that your flight may not be in winter. 19 (Y)For in those days there will be tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the creation which God created until this time, nor ever shall be. 20 And unless the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect’s sake, whom He chose, He shortened the days.

21 (Z)“Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or, ‘Look, He is there!’ do not believe it. 22 For false christs and false prophets will rise and show signs and (AA)wonders to deceive, if possible, even the [g]elect. 23 But (AB)take heed; see, I have told you all things beforehand.

The Coming of the Son of Man(AC)

24 (AD)“But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; 25 the stars of heaven will fall, and the powers in the heavens will be (AE)shaken. 26 (AF)Then they will see the Son of Man coming in the clouds with great power and glory. 27 And then He will send His angels, and gather together His [h]elect from the four winds, from the farthest part of earth to the farthest part of heaven.

The Parable of the Fig Tree(AG)

28 (AH)“Now learn this parable from the fig tree: When its branch has already become tender, and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near. 29 So you also, when you see these things happening, know that [i]it is near—at the doors! 30 Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all these things take place. 31 Heaven and earth will pass away, but (AI)My words will by no means pass away.

No One Knows the Day or Hour(AJ)

32 “But of that day and hour (AK)no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the (AL)Father. 33 (AM)Take heed, watch and pray; for you do not know when the time is. 34 (AN)It is like a man going to a far country, who left his house and gave (AO)authority to his servants, and to each his work, and commanded the doorkeeper to watch. 35 (AP)Watch therefore, for you do not know when the master of the house is coming—in the evening, at midnight, at the crowing of the rooster, or in the morning— 36 lest, coming suddenly, he find you sleeping. 37 And what I say to you, I say to all: Watch!”
